My Personal Credit Crisis

[quote=CA renter]
Well, now there’s an exception. It was I, the wife who fought everyone (husband, MIL, and other in-laws, etc.) in order to sell-to-rent in 2004. I know of many other women in the same position, some here on this site. On Ben Jones’ site, at least half of the posters are women, and had the same experience I did. It is NOT gender-specific. Perhaps your male friends are too wimpy to admit their part in the purchase, and like to blame it on their wives?

This is very true, CA, and I apologize if my comment (not the comment you quoted) came across otherwise.

It’s always funny to me how in most couples, one is very spendy and one is very tight. I know just as many couples where it is the female who is financially responsible as I do where the male is.

The classic example: Casey Serin was the conductor driving his train off the cliff.

I will buy his book. I am most interested in the odd inner-workings of these strange human brains. I will learn much from this human’s story. I am already amused by this man and his “brainy” wife.

Did you buy the book?
I wanna buy the book too but I’ll wait to get 2nd hand on Amazon. I don’t want to send money his way.

I wonder how long the love of his life will stick around.

Andrews is now seven months behind on his mortgage payments and says he has his doubts whether he will be able to hold on to the house.

“I think, one way or another, we’ll probably have to move,” he says. “That said, I’ve got the love of my life and that is worth a lot.”

[quote=Oxford]What strikes me is how this “intelligent” guy is still in denial. I mean, he never mentions any realistic plan to adjust his life to live within his means. He has learned nothing from all this.

The big problem is, even though he was making $120k/year, his actual income is much closer to $60K/year because of the alimony obligation. If you make $60K, then you should not spent:$700 in clothes from J. Crew, $179 at GapKids/month. This was a recipe for disaster…
